Ready to be charmed by the super sweet details of this Rustic Bridal Shower sweets table? This ought to get you in the mood for celebrating Valentine's Day with all of the LOVELY details throughout. Ally Sowers, a very sweet friend of mine, (mentioned a time or two here and here), styled this beautiful bridal shower dessert table for a dear friend of hers. Taking inspiration from the actual "Rustic Country Flair" wedding details from the bride-to-be, Ally incorporated burlap, twine, wooden crates, hand-stained clothespins, and natural twig floral pieces as the perfect accents to pull everything together. Using a papier-mâché letter "B" (first letter of the bride-to-be's married name) and tying it with a collage of fabrics with different textures and patterns made for a super-cute focal point for the backdrop of the dessert table. What's even better? All of the details used in the dessert table can now be re-purposed for the actual wedding and even the brilliant backdrop can later be used in the home of the newlyweds - a great keepsake as well as an adorable home-decor item. I'll let you dig in to the rest of the fetching details of this country love affair...

Here to sum it all up, Ally...

"To save money she [the bride] decided to incorporate the wedding theme with the shower to re-use items. The wedding will have a rustic-country flair. We are going to use burlap as table runners - with mason jars/various bottles filled with flowers/twigs and candles. That's how I decided to use the burlap as a backdrop and I thought the crates added a rustic touch."
